Gonsalvus of Spain

Gonsalvus Hispanus (c. 1255-1313) was a Spanish Franciscan theologian and scholastic philosopher, who became Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor.

He was born at Lugo. He taught at the University of Paris, where he carried out a disputation with Meister Eckhart in 1303.[1] He was expelled from Paris as a papal supporter, in the dispute with Philip IV of France.[2] He came across the younger Duns Scotus and supported him, appointing him regent master of the Franciscans there in 1304.[3]
